I wanted a pattern that would preserve as many of the hares as possible.
I chose the Butterick 5351 bodice with the band removed which I used in the Sew Dolly Clackett challenge and the Butterick 6167 skirt from my recent Gertie dress.

The fabric is ever so slightly sheer so the dress is fully lined with sage green anti-static lining. I also added a really nice deep hem since there was enough fabric from the double duvet! The deep hem with the slightly crisp polycotton makes the skirt hang really well.

It’s a really fun dress to wear, especially with the big swooshy skirt. And I wonder if anyone does a double take when they see me?

I have a duvet dress (which I love). Had a bit of a giggle when someone said “that print is JUST like my duvet cover”. Erm, yes, it actually is! Your duvet dress and indeed your duvet look lovely. I love the hares and the pattern you chose to show them off!

I am currently sewing a Belcarra with a Sainsburys duvet cover. It was reduced to £7 and is 100% cotton sateen. Bought for muslins really but love the print, would have it on the bed if they did king size and pretend I’m a chameleon.

I have often used 100% cotton sheets for lining, but I have never made a dress from one. I’m a bit like Joanne, in that I prefer to sew with 100% cotton to poly but this is certainly very tempting. And I have quite a few lovely bedlinen sets from George that I know are nice quality too!

Heeheehee! This is adorable! I made a dress out of some ridiculous old Jurassic Park sheets and a pair of PJ bottoms for the fella out of Star Wars sheets, but the latter is pretty stiff and not very nice quality. But when my sheets need replacing, I save the old ones and chop them up into muslins. 🙂

Like the above comments, I too have made many shirts and blouses out of duvet covers, valances and sheets. Depending on the colour and print, those I am not particularly fond of for garments become toiles. Charity shops are great for cheap fabric to use as toiles.
